Sorry, there can only be one zombo.com

It's a reasonable suggestion about the naming of demands and supplies. We landed on those names because they had some of the correct connotations, and it was easy to be clear with …

I think you are absolutely correct. In this simple example, it's not easier to comprehend. Especially for someone who already understands how composing software out of function cal…

The author does a lovely job of covering a number of the interesting ideas in this space. But reactive programming is such a tough sell. I know from experience. I maintain a reacti…

I regret taking antibiotics for years in high school as a treatment for acne. We just did what the doctor recommended without giving it much thought. My gut has been a mess ever si…

I use beeminder

Hi. Thanks for the reply. (Pardon my drawn out response. I can nerd out on this all day.) I'm not aware of sub-state-machines as a standard concept. There are State Charts which ar…

State machines are cool but they don't compose well out of the box. Behavior Graph let's you build a composable network of them so they become a practical software architecture. (D…

This is well said. I always suspect that many people who have a hard time relating to TDD already have experience writing these class & method oriented tests. So they understandabl…

Someone who isn't me once ate some funny mushrooms and Van Gogh's paintings appeared to him as though they were made with magic pixie paint that actively ebbed and flowed right bef…

I'd like to be able to browse random people easier. A big "Show me another!" button would be cool. Then I could just sit there and while away the hours reading random thoughts from…

I smell a troll.

I'm happy to go on record here and the unerasable archives of internet history, risking my own reputation and that of my entire line of descendants, in saying that I am convinced t…

Was fffallback.com taken already? Nice site.

A few years ago I got decent at a similar method so I could memorize a list of 20 items pretty quick. I thought I was the cat's pajamas for awhile until it dawned on me that I had …

I still have that recurring dream that I've entirely forgotten about some college class, panicking, certain to fail and not graduate. Then I wake up to realize, "I'm not in school.…

Programming Perl Larry Wall is a mad genius, I don't care if anyone says otherwise. Plus its frequently laugh out loud funny.
